Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274 The Return

Sasha and Cornelius grew worried as they waited for her by the door.

In one room, Queenie was tending to Donovan's wound as she complained, "Arielle might be late, but there's no need for Cor to wait for her so anxiously!"

"Cor has his reasons for doing that," came Donovan's calm reply.

Why is he waiting for Arielle? Obviously, he values her and is worried about her safety.

"Why isn't she back yet? Did something happen to her?"

Queenie grew excited at the thought that something had happened to Arielle.

Similarly, Donovan couldn't stop himself from feeling thrilled, too.

How dare that b*tch insult me? She should feel lucky that I wanted her. Instead, she rejected my advances and mocked me. Clearly, she looks down on me. But didn't the man promise to revert to me before nightfall? Why hasn't he contacted me yet? Don't tell me something has happened to him...

Donovan felt anxious at the thought.

"Queenie, why don't you go to Cor and replace out if there are any updates on Arielle's whereabouts," he suggested.

As he was seriously injured, he had to ask Queenie for help.

Hearing his words, Queenie scowled as she assumed Donovan was worried about Arielle.

"Donovan Baxter, why are you still concerned about that b*tch? Have you forgotten how she beat you up?" she demanded.

Donovan felt an incoming headache at the sight of the jealous Queenie, but he had to comfort her.

"You're reading too much into things! How could I possibly care about her when she had just beaten me up?"

Queenie pouted. "Then why are you asking me to pester Cor for information on her whereabouts?"

In response, Donovan tapped her forehead with his finger and answered adoringly, "It's all because of you, little fool. I got beaten up after following her, so I need you to get information on her whereabouts to prevent her from tattling about us to your brother. If Cor replaces out about this, it will affect your chances to get selected as the head."

Realizing she had misunderstood Donovan, Queenie hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Darling. I'll go to Cor now. If Arielle dares to tattle on us, I shall teach her a lesson!"

With that, she wheeled herself out of the room.

Sasha and Cornelius were still waiting outside. The latter frowned when he saw Queenie coming toward them.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Because of you. I heard that you're waiting for Arielle."

Queenie lifted her head and pouted as she continued, "Cor, just ignore her if she doesn't come back. Why would you wait for her? You're the host of the selection. There's no need to wait for her."

Cornelius knew his sister never liked Arielle. When Arielle showed up today, she even asked him to disqualify her.

She's too ignorant. Doesn't she know how dangerous Mount Blackcloud could be? What if Arielle ran into danger there?

"Don't you know how dangerous Mount Blackcloud is? Head upstairs if you have nothing else to say. I'll wait here alone," Cornelius replied nonchalantly before turning to look at the only path to descend from Mount Blackcloud.

Queenie's lips thinned as she lowered her head to look at her phone out of boredom.

Suddenly, the sound of a car accompanied by lights appeared before them.
